So what shows I am anticipating this Spring? Shokugeki no Souma which I am enjoying the manga for two reasons. One is we had not have a competitive cooking theme series for a long time. The last one if I can remember was Cooking Master Boy which is more than twenty years ago. So Shokugeki no Souma is something that I am enjoying it plus the fact that the female characters who taste the food have ridiculous reactions similar to having an orgasm!

High School DxD, Robot Girls Z, Gintama, Baby Step, Unlimited Blade Works and Kiniro Mosaic are shows that I have followed previously so it is on my watch list. Nanoha Vivid might be a hit or miss since the focus is on Vivio rather than Nanoha herself. Digimon Tri could be good since I heard a lot of good things. (I started with Tamers so I am not familiar about the first two seasons)

Kyoukai no Rinne which is done by Inuyasha's creator, Takahashi Rumiko make me worried since this show can easily hit the 100 episodes mark based on her previous works. Triage X make me wondered why the author isn't continuing High School of the Dead which many fans including me is waiting for. Ninja Slayer might be cool since it is done by the people who did Kill La Kill.

So what are you looking for this Spring? Leave a comment and we will see you this April for the new shows!
